“دع عنـك لومـي فـإن الـلـوم إغــراءُ
وداونـــي بـالـتـي كــانــت هــــي الــــداءُ
صفـراء لا تـنـزل الأحــزان ساحتـهـا
لــــو مـسـهــا حــجــرٌ مـسـتــهُ ســـــراءُ
مـن كـف ذات حـرٍ فـي زي ذي ذكــرٍ
لـــهـــا مــحــبـــانِ لـــوطــــيٌّ وزنَّـــــــاءُ
قـامــت بإبريـقـهـا والـلـيــل مـعـتـكـرٌ
فــلاح مـــن وجـهـهـا فـــي الـبـيـت لألاءُ
فأرسلـت مـن فــم الإبـريـق صافـيـة كـأنــمــا أخـــذهـــا بـالـعــيــن إغـــفـــاءُ
رقـت عـن المـاء حتـى مــا يلائمـهـا
لـطـافـة ً وجـفــا عـــن شكـلـهـا الــمــاءُ
فـلـو مـزجـت بـهـا نـــوراً لمـازجـهـاحـــتـــى تـــولـــدَ أنــــــوارٌ وأضـــــــواءُ
دارت علـى فتـيـة دان الـزمـان لـهـم
فــمـــا يـصـيـبـهــم إلا بـــمـــا شــــــاؤوا
لـتـلــك أبــكــي ولا أبــكــي لـمـنـزلـةٍ
كــانــت تــحــلُّ بــهــا هــنـــدٌ وأســمـــاءُ
حاشـا لـدرة أن تبـنـى الخـيـام لـهـا
وأن تـــروح عـلـيـهـا الإبــــل والــشــاءُ
فقـلْ لمـن يدعـي فـي العلـم فلسفـةً
حفـظـت شيـئـاً وغـابـت عـنـك أشـيــاءُ
لا تحظر العفوَ إن كنت امرأ ً حرجاًفــــإن حـظــركــه فـــــي الــديـــن إزراءُ”
― أبو نواس, ديوان أبي نواس
